The Individual

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a systemic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia either due to insulin resistance or insulin deficiency. This can lead to many serious life-threatening complications if not managed properly by regular monitoring of glycemic status. Prevalence of fear of needles in the society make people non-compliant to regular monitoring. Thus, there is a need for a non-invasive method for determining the glycemic status of the individual. Salivary Glucose has the potential to be one such tool. This study aimed to find whether a correlation between fasting blood glucose levels and fasting salivary glucose levels could be established in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. 50 patients with DM and 50 patients without DM were studied. 5 ml of venous blood and 5 ml of unstimulated saliva after overnight fasting were collected from each participant and processed using standardized enzymatic methods. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. There was a strong and very significant positive correlation (r=0.800, p=0.001) between fasting salivary glucose levels and fasting blood glucose levels in patients with DM whereas the correlation was weak and insignificant in patients without DM (r=0.111, p=0.441). The cut off value for diagnosing DM was found to be ˃ 2.2mg/dl with 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity.

Blood Glucose Levels

Abstract: Blood glucose must be maintained in a constant concentration. Hyperglycemia, an increase of blood glucose level, can be a symptom of diabetes mellitus. One of the factors that affect the blood glucose level is physical activity. Low physical activity can be influenced by work. Sedentary lifestyle is identic with office workes. Office workers do not enough time to do physical activity. This study was aimed to describe the fasting blood glucose level among office workers. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Respondents were obtained by using total sampling method. There were 52 respondents in this study consisted of 25 males and 27 females. The results showed that 45 respondents (86.54%) had normal fasting blood glucose levels, 5 respondents (9.62%) had high fasting blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), and 2 respondents (3.84%) had low fasting blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia). The maximum value was 243 mg/dL, the minimum value was 63 mg/dL, the median value was 83 mg/dL, the average value was 94.42 mg/dL, and standard of deviation was 37.85 mg/dL. Conclusion: Most office workers had normal blood glucose levels.Keywords: fasting blood glucose, office workers Abstrak: Glukosa darah dalam tubuh manusia harus dijaga dalam konsentrasi yang konstan.

Background: Since the COVID-19 pandemic has started, glucocorticoids have been proved to be one of the most effective lifesaving treatments for respiratory complications associated with SARS CoV-2. Aim: To review the incidence of steroid induced diabetes and the associated risk factors in COVID-19 patients. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study Place and duration of the study: Bahria International Hospital Lahore from 15th April 2020 to 31st December 2020 Methodology: Two hundred and thirty patients of COVID-19 cases treated with glucocorticoids (Dexamethasone 4mg BID) were enrolled. All known cases of pre-existing diabetes mellitus and with initial (admission) random blood glucose levels of more than 200 mg/dl were excluded. Patients labelled as glucocorticoid induced diabetes mellitus (GI-DM)met the following criteria, fasting blood glucose level of more than 126 mg/dl or a random glucose level of more than200 mg/dlon two occasions after starting these patients on steroids. Results: The glucocorticoid induced diabetes mellitus was 36 (15.65%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that older age (odds ratio 1.19, 95% confidence interval (1.02-1.36) was found to be the most profound risk factor for GI-DM. Conclusion: Glucocorticoid induced diabetes mellitus found to be associated with glucocorticoid used among COVID-19 patients especially in older ages. So, it is recommended that the treating physicians should consider this side effect of steroids especially when dealing with geriatric cases.

Kombucha Tea

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia. Functional food, such as kombucha tea, is widely used as complementary treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Kombucha tea is made through fermentation process of green or black tea using a microbial kombucha consortium (Acetobacter xylinum and several types of yeast). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fermentation time of kombucha tea on its hypoglycaemic activity in rats. The green tea (Camellia sinensis) was fermented with kombucha consortium for 8, 14, and 21 days. Evaluation of hypoglycaemic activity was conducted using glucose tolerance test method. First, fasting blood glucose levels in rats were measured after 16 hours fasting.  Hyperglycaemic condition was induced by administering glucose 2 g/0.2 kg body weight. Blood glucose levels were measured again after 30 minutes. Subsequently, 5.5 ml of kombucha tea in various fermentation time was orally administered. Blood glucose levels were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after kombucha tea administration. The results revealed the average reduction of blood glucose were 18.16%, 33.64%, and 19.88% by kombucha tea fermented for 8, 14, and 21 days, respectively. In conclusion, kombucha tea fermented for 14 days is potential to be developed as a hypoglycaemic agent. Keywords: fermentation time, glucose level, hypoglycaemia, kombucha tea

Blood Glucose Levels

It has been claimed that lack of knowledge of diabetes mellitus has been a cause of excess admissions and morbidity. There is also some evidence that diabetic education programs can improve self-regulatory behaviour and reduce hospital admissions. In this report we test the hypothesis that greater knowledge of diabetes should be associated with better glycaemic control and lower fasting blood glucose levels. Responses to diabetes knowledge questions were provided by 420 patients attending diabetic clinics in Kuwait. In an earlier and complementary report a principal components analysis revealed that knowledge of diabetes cannot be understood in terms of a single general factor. With a subsequent Varimax rotation we obtained 12 uncorrelated knowledge factors with eigenvalues greater than unity and these would all be confounded in the simple aggregation of correct answers to diabetes knowledge questions employed in earlier studies. Results are now described which show that the 12-factor model of diabetes knowledge is better able to predict blood glucose levels than the scores obtained on a single scale by just summing the correct answers to all diabetes knowledge questions. A standard multiple linear regression with the diabetes knowledge factors age, sex and ‘years since diagnosis’ as independent variables, and fasting blood glucose levels as the dependent variable, shows that 4 of the 12 factors yield statistically significant semi-partial correlation coefficients that account for unique fractions of the total variance of blood glucose levels. The meaning of these 4 factors is discussed with special reference to glycaemic control and blood glucose levels.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of death and disability in the world and its prevalence is predicted to rise to 10% by 2030. Hence, this study is conducted with objectives to find out the effect of aerobic exercises and resisted exercises on blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects and to compare the effect of both exercises on blood glucose level.Method: The comparative study was conducted at Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Deemed University, Physiotherapy department, Karad. 30 participants with age group between 30 and 65 years were taken. Subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group A (15) participants were given aerobic exercise on static bicycle, and Group B (15) participants were given resistance training using dumbbells and weight cuffs for 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Diet recommendations were given to every participant.Results: Statistical analysis was performed using paired and unpaired t-test. Analysis showed statistically extremely significant difference in fasting blood glucose level and postprandial blood glucose level in both the groups (p≤0.0001).Conclusion: Thus, this study concludes that both aerobic exercises and resistance training prove to be beneficial in controlling blood glucose levels in T2DM subjects.
